The Message Unsaid

It has been apparent for some time. The somewhat disconcerting fact that the soaring rhetoric of the baby President is pre-written. The soar crashed to the ground a couple of times during the campaign when the scrolling script stumbled and the Messiah's sermon had to become momentarily extemporaneous.

Here's some commentary on the issue as well as a bit of incriminating video:

What Shall I Say Now?

I will acknowledge that every word that emerges from a President's mouth has consequences. A slip of the tongue can create a crisis--but wait, that's all this President speaks about these days anyway.

Yet, it would seem that if one is a massive intellect, his principles would remain clear in his mind, consistent from day-to-day, and easily elucidated without pre-canning. There might be small risk of being viewed as detached, such as George H. W. Bush with his off-the-cuff moment on "having trouble with the vision thing.." Or you could become comedy fodder like George W. Bush with an occasional malapropism or mispronounciation or spur-of-the-moment word coining. Still, you should be able to utter a brief introduction without someone writing it for you in advance.

Maybe more important in this equation is what is unsaid. Is it possible that the Messiah is the greatest puppet the world has ever seen? Could it be that he is the tool of some evil-minded cabal which has used his ethnicity, his broad smile, his toned wife, and his undeniable charm to gain control of the nation's government? Is it conceivable that he must be scripted because he is only the figurehead of a more nefarious group of plotters?

Nah, that's way too conspiracy oriented for me. Couldn't be...do ya think?
